As anyone with a working knowledge of FIFA will know, Career Mode isn't just about assuming control of your favourite team's players and rattling in the goals. Leading your side up the league table requires a knowledge of your squad's strengths and weaknesses, a dose of tactical nous, and - of course - a cunning eye in the transfer market. There are 10 players whose contracts are set to expire in 2017, you should know and choose wisely. Those on expiring contracts may be slightly old or unwanted by their club, but that shouldn't stop players from considering a tactical contract offer. One man's trash is another man's treasure, after all - and that knackered attacking midfielder could slot seamlessly into another formation.

 

Below is the full lists:

Jesus Navas - Manchester City

Ricardo Quaresma - Besiktas

Danny - Zenit

Santi Cazorla - Arsenal

Stephan Lichtsteiner - Juventus

Laurent Koscielny - Arsenal

Yaya Toure - Manchester City

Xabi Alonso - Bayern Munich

Pepe - Real Madrid

Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Manchester United

 

We can bring you some news for these players for your choice. Here is the introduce of Stephan Lichtsteiner. Versatility and durability are words of the day when it comes to Stephan Lichtsteiner. The Swiss international plays anywhere up and down the right flank for club team Juventus, and has done so for over five seasons now. Lichtsteiner's stats are good across the board; he's quick, defensively solid, and a surprisingly good passer and dribbler. As we all know by now, FIFA 17 is all about physicality and strength, and this is where Lichtsteiner's game is really taken to the next level. Pick him up before he's offered a contract extension (or whisked off elsewhere)!

 

A slightly risky (but often wise) move is the signing of certain players when January rolls around. Just like in real life, certain players will be on expiring contracts, enabling managers to swoop in and offer them an improved deal, snatching a key cog from under a rival's nose - as long as they're over the age of 23. The risk comes, of course, in terms of wage demands, but also the nature of these players. Those on expiring contracts may be slightly old or unwanted by their club, but that shouldn't stop players from considering a tactical contract offer. One man's trash is another man's treasure, after all - and that knackered attacking midfielder could slot seamlessly into another formation.
